In A Land, the rumor about Ling Yan’s murder gradually faded away with the help of the crisis PR team of the Gu Family.
Gu Weiwei was trapped in the lab for a few days before being taken away for another experiment.
After the experiment, she slept for one day and one night. When she woke up again, Gu Siting was the only one by her bedside.
She looked at the man sitting by the bedside for a long while before calling out to him in confusion, “Brother Siting, what are you doing here?”
Hearing the long-lost title, Gu Siting looked at the girl in bed in astonishment.
!!Was she… forgetting everything that happened in Hua Land except for the time when she was living at the Gu Family?
Otherwise she would not have called him that and looked at him in this way.
“Are you feeling… unwell?”
Gu Weiwei felt her forehead. “I am having a headache.”
Gu Siting picked up the painkillers and water on the table and said, “Have some painkillers, you’ll feel better.”
Startled for a moment, Gu Weiwei took them, looking at him curiously.
“Aren’t you going to New York for business?”
Gu Siting thought for a while and suddenly remembered that the year before she died, they ran into each other at home when she returned from Shengxi Town.
He said that he was going to New York for business and left in a hurry.
That was on the eve of his birthday, when she came home to celebrate with him. But he did not return on his birthday.
When he returned, she had already left with Yuan Shuo, leaving only a handmade cake in the fridge.
A few months later, the news of her being stabbed arrived. Then she was seriously injured and hospitalized. Finally, she passed away because of Ling Yan.
After that year, he never celebrated his birthday again.
“Brother Siting?” Gu Weiwei called out to him seeing his expression.
Gu Siting came back to himself. “The meeting has been postponed.”
“Oh.” Gu Weiwei nodded and asked as she looked around, “Where is Mother Gu? She asked me to attend Mass with her at church today.”
“She… already went there. She said that if you are not feeling well, you can take a rest at home.” Gu Siting looked at the girl who was speaking and burst into joy.
She was finally home. His Weiwei was finally home.
“Oh.” Gu Weiwei pursed her lips and said as she looked at him, “You can do whatever you need to do, I will wait for Mother Gu.”
Gu Siting knew that they had been distant from each other because of his father’s death.
That was why she was so surprised to see him and kept a distance from him.
“It is okay, I am not that busy.”
Sitting in bed with the cup in her hands, Gu Weiwei stayed silent.
Seeing the silent girl staring at the cup, Gu Siting felt a lump in his throat. They had been so distant back then.
Even if they ran into each other at home on festivals, they would just greet each other politely, and then he would get busy with work and she would follow Yuan Meng around the world. Other times, he would not be home for months.
At that time, he did not know how to get everything back. He had to wait for so many years and pay so much.
Luckily, he had waited until she returned and everything could start afresh.
“Take a rest, then let’s eat together.”
Startled, Gu Weiwei just could not believe that he would make such a request.
“…Oh, okay.”
